We Know Demi and Wilmer Aren't Together Anymore — but We Still Refuse to Believe It

Published on June 23, 2017 at 5:30 PM

We know Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama are not together anymore, but can you blame us for not quite being over their relationship? The couple dated for six years and sort of broke our hearts when they announced they were going their separate ways in June 2016.

While the couple were solid for years, supporting each other during Demi's battle with depression and addiction, after their breakup, Demi said: "Being sick was always a part of my relationship with him; I always had something wrong with me. I needed to let go of that." In another interview, she revealed she felt "free," and she later showed she meant it by dating not one but two MMA fighters, including Guilherme Vasconcelos.

Recently, the pair met up at a party and posted a very smiley photo together on Demi's Instagram story, giving us serious hope that a romantic reunion might happen. So we're looking back at their best throwback photos. If you're feeling as nostalgic as we are, keep straight ahead.
